Gewurztraminer Wine Tasting Notes

1998 Valckenberg
Pfalz Germany Gewurztraminer
Score: 83.0
"Full-bodied sweet lychee, slight bitter note in the background, good varietal definition, though rather heavy-handed. Serve well-chilled as an aperitif."
1998 Handley
Anderson Valley Gewurztraminer
Score: 92.0
"Beautiful structure and balance, a dry crisp Gewurz, with yellow rose and spice aromas and flavors, and a complex finish with a pleasant bitter nip."
1997 Navarro
Anderson Valley Gewurztraminer
Score: 86.0
"very floral, yellow rose, full body, just off-dry, spicy in the finish. Could use a touch more acid but its attractive."
1998 Lazy Creek
Anderson Valley Gewurztraminer
Score: 81.0
"Oddly the nose is reminiscent of some red berry, or perhaps a red variant on muscat, which follows through to the palate with some background lychee notes. Dry, well-balanced, clean finish. Pair with seafood."
1997 Husch
Anderson Valley Gewurztraminer
Score: 87.0
"Emphatically varietal, just off-dry with excellent balancing acidity and strong lychee character. "
1997 Husch
Anderson Valley Gewurztraminer Late Harvest
Score: 97.0
"Decadent-an orgasm for the mouth: beautifully balanced, sweet, complex honey flavors, orange blossom and spice. Incredible! 14% residual sugar."
1998 Chateau St. Jean
Sonoma County Gewurztraminer
Score: 89.0
"A classic off-dry style of gewurz with yellow rose petal aroma, orangae blossom flavor, good acidity and a pleasant bitterness in the finish. Makes a good match for poultry or spicy Asian dishes."
1998 Chateau St. Jean
Sonoma County Gewurztraminer
Score: 88.0
"A powerhouse with some body and punch. Yellow rose petals in the nose, sweet with some orange zest and a pleasant balancing bitterness added to the palate, good acidity and lychee fruit through the finish. Aggrevsive, flamboyent and a bit of a show-off, this is a wine best served as an aperitif. If you have to have it with food, try it with satay or curry."
1998 Hogue
Columbia Valley Washington Gewurztraminer
Score: 91.0
"A powerhouse thats also seductive - voluptuous, sexy, a perfume of yellow roses and tropical fruit. Crisp, just barely off-dry, intense on the mid-palate and spicy through an extended finish. First rate. Pairs well with any Asian dish."
1998 Fetzer Vineyards
California Gewurztraminer
Score: 87.0
"Fresh sweet lychee and peach flavors, tart and spritzy, with a clean finish. Always consistent and always a good value. Best as an aperitif or with Asian cuisine."
